Recently I enjoyed a week-long trip to Nebraska, my home state. I took a stroll down Memory Lane, visiting the farm where I was born, and my old farmhouse where I grew up, preaching in my church in Clatonia where my grandparents, parents, and I were baptized and confirmed, and re-connecting with lots of friends and cousins. It was an amazing, healing experience. 

And then I had the privilege of returning to my beloved Wesleyan University which has been so good to me – where I earned an honorary doctorate of humanitarian letters, was the outstanding alum, served on the Board, and more.

While there, Wesleyan interviewed me about living fully and meaningfully into my life – no matter what I faced including my being disabled. They will use the video for education and inspiration for students, faculty, and alumni and might also use it for fundraising. It was a delight to make this YouTube video. I hope you will enjoy it also.
